God is not merely mending, not simply restoring a status quo. Redeemed humanity is to be something more glorious than unfallen humanity would have been

C.S. Lewis

As Nephi exclaimed... O wretched man that I am. .. so, too, do we often feel the weight of the Fall in our lives. And, when we do, it can sometimes feel like our very identity becomes our association to our own fallenness.

As Nephi also exclaimed... nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted. (2Ne 4:19).... so too can we find similar hope.

We talk today bout 5 specific blessings that are available to each of us as we seek and gain an understanding of the doctrine of the Fall.
